Brad,
As with everyone else I would like to very much thank you for your work in
making LD what it is today. Most of the exciting developments in the past few
years have been out of your division, and the relationships that you and your
team have built with the community have been very exciting. Is there an
official announcement of who will take over the helm of LD? You said that
various programs within LD will continue, but are there any policy changes we
can expect under the new head? I do worry that "mainstreaming" the LD model
into the rest of the company could lead to a dilution of the benefits of the LD
we've known, but I remain hopeful that it will lead to an improvement in retail
rather than any harm to LD.
On the personal side, does your change in status mean that you will be joining
up with BayLUG or BayLTC? Or of course you can make the drive down to some
LUGOLA meetings. :) Also, how about a Brickshelf page? We know Jake's site,
but I don't know if I've ever seen your personal creations.
So, when you leave out the door, are you allowed to stuff your pockets and
briefcase with all the bricks you can carry? ;)
Good luck in your new position, and good luck to all at LD as they make the
transition to new leadership.
